Large-scale photographs by grad student Sara Deasy will be featured in her master’s Grad Show, the first exhibition of the fall semester in the Phebe Conley Art Gallery at Fresno State.

The exhibition consists of 10 44-by-66-inch prints in the main gallery space, and 12 12-by-18-inch black-and-white images in the back portion of the gallery. Deasy’s artist statement gives her perspective on her works:

“I thrive trying to share my interpretive visualization of our fears, inhibitions, desires, hopes and beliefs as human beings. This series is my visualization of how memory works. Throughout our lives we collect, memories based on experiences, and emotions; some good, some bad, and some that can never be freed from our cognizance. Memories pile up over time, and some start to collect dust in the outer regions of our minds, and many get lost among life’s chaos. Other memories are new and freshly placed on top of everything, sometime blurring the old forever or only allowing a faint glimpse of the past to be seen.”

Deasy’s exhibition will be on display from Monday, Aug. 28, through Friday, Sept. 1. A reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31.

A message from the Dean

γνῶθι σεαυτόν

Through the pursuit of art and the exploration of ideas, we artists and humanists fuel our instinct to positively impact our world with our creative processes. “Know Thyself,” the famous aphorism inscribed at Delphi that was later made famous by Socrates, reflects the artist’s and humanist’s desire to paint, sculpt, film, photograph, act, dance, compose… ideas become shapes, feelings turn into melodies, concepts inspire reflection. A camera angle explores emotions and builds suspense; a reporter speaks truth and forges community ties; a speechwriter finds the right words to convey the significance of democracy, justice, and dignity; an educator leads her students in understanding the value of centuries-old questions that still illuminate our quest to form a more perfect society.
